Hey y'all, that's a lot of snow!!
I'm just here enjoying life in San Juan where it is a balmy 80 degrees. :) Haha
oh man, that is one thing I do not miss about home, the snow and ice. Yuck.
Anyways...
Mom - You know, dad said you'd tell
me a lot about a lot of stuff, and... you didn't. ;) Haha that's okay, it
sounds like things are pretty crazy back there! That's way cool that they have
a new Texas Roadhouse by the mall!! That's awesome. That's also cool that you
saw Taylar. I thought he'd be out by now, but that's good that he's saving up
and getting ready to go.
Dad - Well I can't believe that Rex
is now overweight, after being skinny and underweight all his life! I guess
he's just lost the spring in his step now and can't burn off all that food. :(
Poor guy, I hope he is doing alright even though he's starting to get old. :(
That's also sad to hear about Bro. Judkins, but I'm sure he's happy where he is
now, enjoying a "rest from all his labors" in paradise. :)

| Tortola - traveling with the choir for Christmas 2012 |
Anyway, I actually have a few
minutes to write you today! Yay! Anyway, it's been a pretty crazy week, and
having zone leader responsibilities on top of everything is a bit obnoxious,
but it all works out. Oh, and by the way, I watched the CD from Thanksgiving,
and it was great. :) Also, I did get a keychain from the Alvarados for
Christmas, for the whole choir thing, so if you don't find any ornaments, I'll
just use that as my ornament for last year. :) It's pretty cool, so I'd be fine
with it.
But yeah, so this week was really
good. We taught a lot of investigators, and I am really loving it with Elder
Peacock. He's a great companion, and I honestly feel like we're having some
fantastic lessons. I feel like I've had the best lessons with him, so it's
pretty good! We have had to do some crazy stuff like picking missionaries up
from the airport and stuff, but it's been good, and I've been learning more and
more about my responsibilities as a zone leader.
We have another leadership
training meeting tomorrow, so that should be interesting haha. But yeah,
besides that, we found this crazy less active guy over in Condado (the rich
part of Santurce), and we finally had a return appointment, and he brought
somebody to teach! so that was really cool. Her name is Cruz Mercedes, and it
was really great. She is super receptive, and very prepared for the gospel. She
still doesn't understand all the way, but she'll get there. :) We also had
another cool experience where we went to teach an investigator, and she wasn't
there, but her neighbor was out, and we were able to teach her and she
definitely felt the Spirit. She was actually crying by the end of the lesson
because the Spirit was so strong. :) It was great! Also, on a tradeoff with
Elder Udall, we found another way cool lady to teach. So it's been a good week
for teaching, I think, and I really enjoyed it. :) We don't have any baptismal
dates, sadly, but we'll get those soon.
Oh, and I almost forgot, the reason
I didn't have much time last week was because we as a choir went out to eat at
P.F. Chang's at Plaza Las Americas. That was pretty cool. Mom and Marilee, you
would LOVE Plaza Las Americas, and I plan on taking you there when you come to
visit Puerto Rico. :) Dad, you'll still like it, but you'll have to guard your
wallet ;) Haha. But yeah, anyway, that's most of the week, I think! I'll try
and be more organized for next week with my thoughts, just right now I'm all
over the place still figuring things out. But I love you all so very much, and
I hope that you're all staying safe, healthy, and doing great. Thank you for
everything, and I look forward to hearing from you next week!
Con mucho
amor,
